PISTACHIOS MAY HELP REDUCE BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS

The pistachio has a delicious flavor and a high nutritious value, being high in monounsaturated fat, fiber, thiamin and vitamin B6, and minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, copper and manganese. They are also a source of protein, riboflavin, vitamins A, E and K, as well as other minerals as iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium (1,2).

Pistachios have a glucose- and insulin-lowering effect, so they may help you lower blood sugar levels (3). Eating pistachios every day may also improve some cardiometabolic risk factors in adults with well-controlled type 2 diabetes (4).
